Dwarf Galaxies

Dwarf Galaxies is a class of galaxies defined as gravitationally bound stellar systems that, while structurally analogous to larger galaxies, are distinguished by substantially lower stellar mass, luminosity, and spatial extent, typically containing at most a few billion stars and often occurring as satellites of more massive galaxies.
